Simple tricks can help you flaunt a radiant complexion on your wedding
Weren’t we all mesmerised by the glow on Kareena Kapoor’s face on her wedding day? If you think you too can look equally beautiful on your special day with some miracle make-up, then, think again.
“To achieve that glow in your complexion, you must prepare well in
advance, not necessarily with expensive salon sessions or cosmetics,
but through your diet and some homemade concoctions,” says beauty expert
Aashmeen Munjaal. In fact, Kareena was once quoted saying that she
doesn’t even believe in facials. The 32-year-old’s beauty regime simply
includes thoroughly cleaning her face with a face wash, homemade fruit
masks and a good sunscreen when heading out. Once in an interview, the
actor had said that the real secret behind her glow is her diet that
includes loads of green veggies such as spinach and broccoli, a good
portion of whole grains, and six to eight glasses of boiled water every
day.
“I eat every two-three hours, and my dinner is always light,
usually dal, some vegetable, curd and roti,” Kareena was once quoted
saying. The actor also admitted to dedicating an hour to ashtanga and
power yoga every day. So, if you are all set to look the best on your
wedding, you know what to do.
NUTS: Nuts, in general, are very nutritious, providing protein and many
essential vitamins such as B and E and minerals like potassium, selenium
and magnesium. They also contain omega 3 fatty acids which are vital
for the skin and hair and will give that extra glow to your skin, so
make them part of your daily diet and have 15 almonds or 10 walnuts
daily.
FLAXSEED: The high content of omega 3 fatty acids has made this ancient flaxseed our modern miracle food. To prevent skin from looking tired and saggy, take a tablespoon of flaxseeds daily.
GREEN TEA: Green tea contains a compound known as flavonoids which is excellent for the skin, as it reduces inflammation and keeps skin smooth and blemish-free. Sip green tea regularly, at least two weeks before your wedding.

LEMON: Have lemon juice with one teaspoon honey in one glass of
warm water every day. It acts as a skin cleanser, and due to the
presence of astringent properties, removes acne scars and improves the
skin tone, making it glow.
RAINBOW DIET: Incorporate colours in your diet by opting for different coloured fruits and veggies, be it rich, red tomatoes, lush green leafy veggies, crunchy orange carrots, citrusy oranges, or blood-red pomegranates. It gives you all the antioxidants and flavanoids required for that glowing complexion. While carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A, an essential nutrient for healthy skin, they also contain high levels of antioxidants, which prevent the damage done to skin by free radicals. Rich in Vitamin C, oranges improve the texture of the skin, while pomegranates help prevent acne by eliminating the root causes — improving your digestive problems and blood circulation. You can even apply pomegranate juice on acne-affected skin to remove scars.
STAY HYDRATED: The key to healthy living is to clean the system of all the toxins which are produced daily in our body due to pollution and stress. Take plenty of water or fluids which will help wash the toxins from the body, giving that extra glow to your skin. At least two litres per day is mandatory. Include coconut water, fresh lime water, lassi and soups as well as detox drinks like orange-ginger-mint tango, fruit vegetable sherbet, apple and tomato mocktail, in your diet. Avoid aerated drinks as they dehydrate the system. (Inputs by Dr Ritika Samaddar, head
